WFCN – Officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) are presently conducting an investigation after a corpse was found in a ditch near Mass Ave. The discovery caused alarm and prompted an early response from the police.
The body was found submerged in the ditch earlier today, close to a busy area of Mass Ave that is well-known for its eateries, retail establishments, and exciting nightlife. It was a tragic find. Officers quickly roped off the area to protect the scene and collect evidence after informing the authorities.
“We received a report of a body found in the ditch along Mass Ave,” an IMPD spokesman, Officer Sarah Johnson, said. “Our homicide detectives are on site conducting a thorough investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding this tragic incident.”
Notification of the deceased’s relatives has delayed the release of information on the deceased’s identify and cause of death. Residents and business owners in the region, many of whom expressed shock and grief upon learning of the occurrence, have voiced unease over the finding.
